Standing Room Only - Winnick Hillel Center at Syracuse University Offers Seder to a Full House Standing Room Only - Winnick Hillel Center at Syracuse University Offers Seder to a Full House - A capacity crowd of more than 300 students packed the Winnick Hillel Center for Seder services, marking the Passover holiday. - Karen and Gary Winnick, through the Winnick Family Foundation, have donated $2.2 million to Hillel at Syracuse University, bringing their total contributions to Syracuse University to $4.5 million. Los Angeles, CA -- April 20, 2009 -- Syracuse University's Winnick Hillel Center hosted one of the largest on-campus gatherings for a Seder service in the University's history earlier this month. On April 8, more than 300 students crowded in for the Wednesday sundown service, marking the opening of Jewish Passover. The gathering was significant enough to earn feature news coverage in the campus newspaper, The Daily Orange. Wrote campus reporter Matt Levin: "Students packed the upstairs and downstairs dining rooms, so they turned the library into a third dining room … Hundreds of students prayed together. They prayed as one." Said financier and philanthropist Gary Winnick, pleased at the exceptional turnout: "College years can be rewarding, but the absence of family and structure during long months on campus can also make a university environment a very lonely place. My wife Karen, who is herself a graduate of Syracuse University, and I are pleased to have funded the construction and operation of this unique center and delighted to see that it is already attracting students enthusiastic about their Jewish heritage. The purpose of the Hillel movement is to provide a space where young Jews can explore and celebrate their common values. It looks like this center on the Syracuse campus is quickly fulfilling that role." Karen and Gary Winnick, through the Winnick Family Foundation, have made $2.2 million in contributions for Hillel at Syracuse University, bringing their total contributions to Syracuse University to $4.5 million.

  • University Microfilms International300 N
    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.

    et al.: Alumni Journal A Lu M N IJ 0 uR NAL 11-800-SUALUMS (782-5867) www.syr.edu/alumni Ensuring the University's Future I AM FORTUNATE TO BEGIN MY TWO­ year term as president of the Syracuse University Alumni Association at such a significant time in the history of our univer­ sity. The Campaign for Syracuse University, which will officially launch on November 2, is an important foundation for the vision of Scholarship in Action, and the support of all alumni is key to the campaign's success. The Alumni Association, working with the Office of Alumni Relations, is focused this year on three priorities to support these efforts: Celebrating Orange, Creating and Maintaining Lifelong Connections, and En­ suring Stewardship of the Future. The first priority is to celebrate with alumni the accomplish­ ments of students, faculty, and staff at Syracuse University and the vision of Scholarship in Action. There are so many exciting things happening on campus that alumni often cannot experi­ ence. The Office of Alumni Relations, in collaboration with our alumni clubs around the country, is organizing programs to take on the road that share these exciting happenings. In addition, we are working to celebrate the accomplishments of alumni, both great and small, that continue to add to the reputation of our university. The second priority is to help create and maintain connections with all alumni and our students. Over the last several months, we have held successful "soft landing" events for recent graduates in cities around America, hosted send-offs to help welcome new students into the Syracuse family, and welcomed alumni back to campus as part of our new Homecoming+ Reunion activities.

  • The Successful President
    “I’m Lost But I’m Making Record Time”: A Successful President Transforms Syracuse University Ali Shehzad Zaidi The Successful President In 1999, the influential American Council of Education published a primer on university leadership by one of its board directors, Kenneth Shaw, Chancellor of Syracuse University (SU). Dedicated to “academic leaders… who have created the world’s best system of higher education,” The Successful President is the linchpin of a buoyant success narrative presenting SU, a private research university in central New York, as a bold experiment in educational innovation. Representing organizational change in a societal vacuum, Shaw’s success narrative is persuasive only to the extent that it conceals the decline of community, the looting of the academy, and such corollaries to the successful president as unsuccessful adjuncts, unsuccessful secretaries, unsuccessful librarians, unsuccessful custodians, and unsuccessful cafeteria workers. SU, renowned for its top-ranked football and basketball teams, also vaunts five core values: quality, diversity, caring, innovation, and service. Visiting SU in July 2001 to interview Shaw, I researched the militarization, corporatization, and decline of the humanities at SU, developments related to the raw capitalism also transforming the city of Syracuse. Shaw proved to be an able communicator of a vision common to chief executive officers at research universities in the United States. Before becoming SU Chancellor in 1991, Shaw had had a long career as university administrator, including a stint as president of the University of Wisconsin system. As he climbed the higher education ladder, Shaw found that his jokes became funnier. This humor is particularly evident in The Successful President.
